RTE

Press RTE. After NAV IDENT has been shown once, the MCDU opens ACT RTE.

Edits switch the page to MOD. ACTIVATE (LSK 6R) makes the modification active. CANCEL (LSK 6L, when a MOD exists) reverts.

Route fields

LSK	Field	Function
1L	ORIGIN	Departure ICAO. Clearing origin starts a MOD.
1R	DEST	Destination ICAO.
2R	ALTN DEST	Alternate (shown when DEST is set).
5R	FLIGHT ID	Callsign / flight number.
3L	DLK FPL	Opens the datalink flight-plan list when an OFP is available.
4L	SEND	Requests a flight plan (SimBrief or MSFS). Status shows SENDING while the request is in progress.

CO ROUTE is displayed but not implemented.

Bottom-line prompts change with context: DEPARTURE, ARRIVAL, PERF INIT, FPL LIST, ACTIVATE, CANCEL.
